Magnetized liner inertial fusion

Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MLI) is a method of nuclear fusion that combines aspects of both inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and magnetic confinement fusion. The goal of MLI is to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, which could potentially provide a powerful and sustainable source of energy. In MLI, a fusion target (which typically contains a mixture of hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium) is surrounded by a liner—a cylindrical shell made of a conductive material.
